bought a set of crows feet, *should* make this less ridiculous.

Well dudes, i dropped the shaft this morning. I was able to get to the fitting by just taking off the rear 4 bolts, jacking up the front of the truck and spinning wheels until i could access the fitting with the joint bent. greased up that fitting and no more noise! Hopefully I prevented too...

shoooooooooot, not sure. I know i pumped all 3 joints and the yoke. didn't see any other zircs. that's probably it, damn.

that's what scares me a bit. I guess ill throw more grease in there and hope. I JUST put in a tom woods double carden front drive shaft, would be kinda ridiculous if it already busted. It has less than 5000 miles on it. I re greased it once already a few months ago. I was going to do it...

its not that kinda noise, and its been like 2 months since i did em and there wasn't any problems. like I said, I jacked it up and spun em no abnormal noise like that. brakes weren't biting.

ran through and replaced re tensioned all the belts, no dice

i took some videos of the noise, but can't upload em here. can email or something to someone who might know what is goin on.

Well, I went full commitment and swapped out all the belts with my OEM spares. tightened torqued, etc. while they were off spun all the bearings and they're all fine. drove, and within first 2-3 feet squeak is back. same as before. I'm going crazy.

check? just see if it walked out or something? and yes, only when rolling. I was worried it was transmission but that made no effect on squeal. I put it in neutral while rolling and still squeak. Also went to a shop and the mechanic straight up was left head scratching, now waiting for another...

Howdy! Gonna be a tough one, as this is an underway noise. as mentioned, I randomly started getting a squeal/squeak/chirp from the front end. With windows up driving slowly sounds like chirping birds. It only occurs when the vehicle in in motion, gets louder with higher rpm/speed. The sound...

I had that idea, and it scares me

called some shops, so far best was 90$ PER wheel. yikes. looney toons.

good to know, i might try and return. might try and get them milled. where'd you go for that work done?

Just a PSA, was needing some new wheels for the land cruiser, as the PO had a set of sketchy 2" spacers (with a snapped stud!) was looking at SCS wheels for a set of their 5 spokes. After hearing about lead times and seeing that Kansei had a sale on, I picked up a set of some pretty slick...

Welllllll, I didn't do the trouble shooting with the drive shaft this weekend. Did The PHH, and the rest of my heater hoses, and a first coolant flush. I ended up just buying a tom woods DC. threw it in today, thing eliminated like 80% of my vibration! never woulda guessed. Still not ideal...
